Finding New Waters
Shownotes Transcript
In this particularly enriching episode of "The Waters Cast," Dr. Harold Hong and Justin Mclendon invite the audience on a contemplative journey into the depths of spirituality and its profound impact on therapeutic practices. Their special guest, Amanda Cumbo, stands out with her dual expertise in therapy and spirituality, offering listeners a unique blend of insights from both realms.
Key Highlights:
Types of Love in Soul Healing: Amanda breaks down the foundational elements of love into three categories – eros (romantic love), philo (brotherly love), and agape (unconditional love). She provides insight into how understanding and channeling these forms of love can be therapeutic and transformative.
Challenges in Establishing Healthy Connections: The discussion shifts to the real-world difficulties many individuals face in creating and maintaining genuine, healthy relationships, stemming from tumultuous backgrounds or chaotic family histories.
Introduction to Body-based Therapeutic Strategies: Amanda shares the benefits of body-centered therapeutic practices. One such innovative approach she introduces is the Mates Brain Regulation Program, illustrating its profound impact on therapy sessions and overall healing.
Spirituality Beyond Belief Systems: As the dialogue progresses, a striking revelation emerges – that spirituality isn't just limited to what one believes. It extends to the essence of how one leads their life, interacts with others, and the choices they make daily.
Finding Peace in a Chaotic World: Dr. Hong, Justin, and Amanda explore the concept of inner peace. They delve into the differences between the temporary calm between storms versus true, enduring peace, emphasizing how spirituality can guide individuals towards the latter.
The episode culminates with Dr. Harold Hong and Justin Mclendon acknowledging Amanda Cumbo's unparalleled expertise in seamlessly fusing spirituality and therapy. This combination, they suggest, holds immense potential for individuals seeking holistic healing and a state of inner tranquility. For those eager to delve deeper, the Broadridge family Christian counseling practice and additional resources linked to Amanda's work are available in the show notes.
